UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ARTHUR ENGLISH. OF

KANKA'KEE, ILLINOIS.

STOVEPIPE-HOLDER.

Application filed To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, An'rn'on linemen, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kankakee, in the county of Kankakee and State of lllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stovepipe- Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a stove pipe holder, and its object is to provide a device which may be readily attached to a section of stove pipe entering the stove hole of a chimney, with means for retaining said device in position with reference to the brick work, whereby the pipe section is held permanently in position, and therefore retained. against accidental displacement.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of elements hereinafter described and claimed.

in the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a transverse section through a length of pipe secured in place by the holding device herein described, the shield member being removed,

Fig. 2 is a detail view in perspective showing the construction of the holding device, and

Fig. 3 is a detail in transverse section through said holding device, the section being taken on a line adjacent to the centrally located upwardly projecting memb In carrying out my invention I provide an arc-shaped member designated 10, this member being provided with apertures 11 near the ends thereof, through which rivets Specification of Letters Patent.

February 18, 1920. Serial No. 359,711.

12 are passed, these rivets also passing throngh the pipe section 14: with which the holding device is to be connected.

The arc-shaped member 10 may include a. flanged portion 15 extending along one edge thereof, and projecting from said member 10 is a plate element 16 provided with a prong 17 on the end thereof, the latter being forced into the plaster covering the brick work of the chimney and serving to retain the holding device in its proper position. T he collar 18 surroun s the pipe, and when in proper position serves to conceal the holding device from view.

it will therefore be apparent that the pipe is permanently retained and cannot be accidentally displaced, and that therefore there can be no interference with the proper draft, due to the cause indicated. The device is inexpensive and can be made for use with pipe of any size.

What I claim is:

A holder for securing a stove pipe in the opening of a brick chimney comprising an arcuate member adapted to engage the stove pipe and have its ends secured thereto, an outwardly projecting flange on said member and following the curvature thereof, an arm on said flange intermediate the latters end and adapted to bear against the chimney, and a prong on the end of said arm an adapted to be driven between the bricks of the chimney.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR ENGLISH.
